Almost 37 million people live in
Germany’s 300 largest citiesTowns and cities ranked 1 to 100

Germany is a country of thousands of medium-sized towns and cities. Only three cities, Berlin, Hamburg and München (Munich), are Millionenstädte - cities with a population of more than one million. Another nine German cities have a population of more than 500,000 people.

According to the Deutscher Städtetag (German Associations of Towns and Cities) some 51 million people  the equivalent of 63 per cent of Germanys total population - live in the countrys 5,700 towns and cities. The population of Germanys 300 largest cities amounts to almost 37 million or 45 per cent of all people living in the country.

The data for the City Mayors tables of Germanys 300 largest cities was collected from a number of sources. Urs Enke acted as research consultant.

Women have fought prejudice and struggled for equal rights and opportunities for hundreds of years. They did it with courage and resolve. In the 20th and early 21st centuries, women have achieved success in many spheres previously reserved to or monopolised by men, but their contributions are still often undervalued and their potential not recognised enough. Only some 20 per cent of the world’s mayors are women.
